Finally decided on wheels

[AKA1sexy6]

Was originally going to get these for XMAS:


But Xmas day I got word that WheelMax was sold out...good thing because I found these the day after and like them so much more. +48mm offset too ;)


What do you guys think? Better choice?

The ADR's look good, I like that design, spokes and a polished lip always works, in my opinion.

Yeah those ADR's look good. You'll find the same type of thing though like the Konig Holes. You'll need 18's just to look like 17's with that design.

I like the ADR's much better as well.

Unfortunately that's true. However, the look of the bigger wheels doesn't justify paying $250 a piece plus the added weight of 18's so hopefully they'll look a little bigger once i lower it. :)

those look exactly like the exel rims wheelmax is doing a sale on...its right on their opening page...

Exel
RS-GT
-Silver

-Hyperblack
-4 or 5 Lug
-(4) 17x7
-(4) 205/40/17 Tires

18" w/ Tires

Thats not a bad deal.

ADR's all the way.
Get lower profile tires(215/45 or 225/45) and lower it, then the rims will look bigger.

Yeah, I'm definitely going with a 45 series sidewall and the Eibachs.

i know that mag designs can change how big the mag looks, but wat r u guys saying is making this mag look smaller than it is? the centre locknut holes are average size to me and the spokes are a great length and width which to me would make it look like an 18" if its an 18".

as a quick note, the best mags i can ever imagine for making themselves look bigger than they are is the mazda rx-8 wheels, 18's easily look like 19's :cool

Steve, I think the polished lip is what makes the wheel look smaller than it actually is. Some sort of optical illusion that fools the eye.
